Concept
Sulfonyl group
Summary
In organosulfur chemistry, a sulfonyl group can refer either to a functional group found primarily in sulfones, or to a substituent obtained from a sulfonic acid by the removal of the hydroxyl group, similarly to acyl groups. Sulfonyl groups can be written as having the general formula , where there are two double bonds between the sulfur and oxygen.
Sulfonyl groups can be reduced to the sulfide with DIBALH. Lithium aluminium hydride () reduces some but not all sulfones to sulfides.
In inorganic chemistry, when the group is not connected to any carbon atoms, it is referred to as sulfuryl.
